LED street lamps and landscape lighting has become a hot spot for lighting applications

After years of rapid development, subject to the impact of global financial crisis and other factors, in 2008 the Chinese LED market growth rate than in 2007 appeared a certain degree of decline is expected in 2008 led market sales growth rate can only reach about 12%.
But compared with other semiconductor products, due to the LED application is more extensive, and for consumer products are less reliant, so the financial crisis to the LED industry although also brought negative effects, but its impact on amplitude is relatively weak and because led in landscape lighting, street lighting, large-size backlight, automobile lights, and other fields has great potential for development. The development and Prospect of is still good.
From 2008 LED market applications, LED indicator, LED display, mobile phone keyboard and camera flash and LCD backlight source ranked top four areas of sales. And on sales point of view, LED display, LED indicator, LCD backlight and mobile phone keyboard and camera flash is ranked the top four. Although these four areas occupy the mainstream of China's LED market, but subject to different factors, the four major applications in the field of development in 2008 is still affected by a certain impact.
Although in 2008 the Chinese LED market development encountered some obstacles, the market growth rate than in 2007 appeared the decline in a certain extent, but because LED has green, environmental protection and energy saving advantages in many aspects, is in line with the international energy saving emission reduction, the development of policy, the future market overall trend still upward. On the other hand, such in the large-size backlight, landscape lighting, automobile lamp, low temperature lighting applications in emerging markets will in the next few years get further development, will gradually become the promotion of market led development of a booster.
1 back light source market to the large size of the application of transition.
LCD back light source and LED light due to the downstream machine manufacturing industry output decline, the market growth has slowed. The deepening of the global financial crisis has brought a great impact on the downstream machine manufacturing industry in China. 2008 China's mobile phone production growth rate than in 2007 there has been a relatively large decline, its growth rate is only maintained at a single digit. Mobile phone production growth rate of a substantial slowdown, to the small size backlight market has brought great impact, product prices also appeared a large decline.
With the small size backlight market entered a mature stage of development. At present, the LED has gradually from the product size to large size transition, market has appeared in succession LED backlight notebook computer, but because there is still a big gap between the price of LED backlight and CCFL module by LED backlight will largely improve product cost, resulting in the LED in the notebook computer penetration is not high, but led by virtue of the planar light source, the characteristics of wide color gamut range, low power consumption, light in the notebook PC applications still have a broad space for development.
In addition to the notebook, LED instead of CCFL to become the LCD TV backlight source has become a new bright spot in the application of LED. However, due to the development of the efficiency of LED still needs to be improved, the impact of higher prices factors, in the short term CCFL will still occupy the mainstream position of the large size backlight market, LED still have a long way to go.
